Analysis of the Effects of Temperature Stress on Insect Memory and Behavior

Building a modeling framework to predict changes in insect population density within the natural environment by studying the memory capacity (trauma) of insects in response to low-temperature and high-temperature stress, as well as behavioral changes for cold survival, to understand the overwintering ability and mechanisms of insects affected by climate change

온도 스트레스가 곤충의 기억과 행동에 미치는 영향 분석

기후변화로 인한 곤충의 월동능력 및 월동기작을 이해하기 위해 저온과 고온 스트레스에 대한 곤충의 기억 능력(트라우마)과 저온 생존을 위한 곤충의 행동적 변화를 연구하여 자연계 내에서 곤충 집단의 밀도변화를 예측할 수 있는 모델링 구축

2. Elucidation of Toxicity Mechanisms of Invertebrates Caused by Pesticides

Contributing to the smartization of regional agriculture through the assessment of the impact of low-toxicity pesticides (insecticides and fungicides) sprayed by farms in the northern Gyeongbuk region on invertebrates, and the development of toxicity biomarkers capable of quantifying exposure indices
